I need a small embedded Linux distro created with FreeRadius built in. It needs to be able to handle WPA2 Radius requests from access points and authenticate based on username password credentials only. I have made this work in Windows XP running FreeRadius but I want it to work in Linux. I have experimented with a free version of this that I found online and that did not work. The reason why this will not work normally on the Linux distro I was using has something to do with issues involving disagreements over licensing. I think it had to do with the particular Linux distro I was using did not like the OpenSSL license regarding certificates. I could be wrong as it has been some time but I think that is right. The Linux distro I was using was Debian. All I know for sure is that the Windows version of FreeRadius has the basic certificate infrastructure in place to allow WPA2 authentication for access points and the Linux version does not. I need someone to find a way to make this work in Linux because I cannot and I do not want to buy a Windows XP installation for each of these I build in the future. Especially since this requires bigger hardware, hard drive, etc. Not to mention added cost for each installation. I want to load it on a flash module if possible. No GUI needed. Web admin would be nice but not needed. SSH interface for management is a minimum requirement. Basically the way this needs to be setup is that each server will need a certificate installed. The APs and the clients will not need a certificate. The APs will have the shared secret for the radius server. The radius server will have client data identifying the IP and shared secret of each AP. Clients will authenticate using username and password only. (This does require some modification of the default security settings for a WPA2 connection in a typical Windows client computer. It will work though I promise. ) The Radius server will need a basic text editor so I can edit the client and user files as needed. Logs will need to be kept for client access. DHCP will need to be supported. I will need detailed instruction in how to setup the certificate for each installation. I understand the logs, client file and user file syntax so I will not need instruction for that. I will pay for this to be done but I will need it fairly soon. Contact me OFFLIST at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to try to do this project and let me know what you will want to be paid for such a project. I have been using the Deliberant 2350 Access Points to work on this. It is a standard WPA2 Enterprise setup though so you can use any AP of this type I think and it should duplicate my setup. OFFLIST your questions, quotes, etc. Kindest regards, Scriv -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
RE: [WISPA] WISPA Trade Shows...
We do a lot of shows. For this industry, we've found ISPCON and WISPCON to be of the most value. WiNOG was headed that way, but it is now dormant. There are lots of other shows that WISPs can enjoy and learn from: VON, WCA, NTCA Annual Meeting, IP Possibilities, and the regional ILEC shows. We also show at LinuxWorld (now one per year) and plan to go to Interop this Spring. Jeff -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

Re: [WISPA] Blackberry vs. Palm
The palms are so danged expensive. And I tend to break phones often when out in the field. If it were me, I'd FIRST look around to see if anyone in the area has better coverage and/or prices. We just moved away from Cingular and the problems are around the same but coverage is better and the costs are lower. AND the support of a local company has been wonderful! Walk into the store and the same people are there month after month, they know my name etc. Next, I'd probably do blackberrys for the average guy. Those that need network access to your gear could use the palms. I'm looking for a palm or Q phone as soon as I can afford one. Typing even short emails on a standard phone sucks.

[WISPA] ISP Market: Proposing New Services to Customers
http://www.iec.org/newsletter/jan07_2/broadband_2.html ISP Market: Proposing New Services to Customers Educational content provided by Stefan Bengtsson, BeWAN systems A Turning Point in Europe's Increasingly Competitive Market In recent years, Europe has witnessed significant growth of the Internet, both in the increasing number of subscribers and the appearance of new operators. While the market has reached maturity in several countries, competition remains aggressive. The challenge for Internet service providers (ISPs) is not only to acquire new customers, but also to improve the long-term loyalty of their subscribers. Consumers are also changing their habits. A parallel can be drawn between how the market for Internet service has evolved and what has happened with mobile telephony. Imagine trying to sell a mobile phone today without a color screen or a built-in camera! Users today want products that offer the broadest possible range of functionality. ISPs are facing a similar situation with high-speed Internet: consumers are no longer simply looking for fast access, but also for services that will impact their daily lives, in addition to high-quality connections and related services. Convergence and Added Services The mobile phone market was the first to offer mass-market convergence devices: calculators, cameras, notebooks, agendas, e-mail, MP3 players, and video game consoles. The mobile phone has evolved into a technology center, and as a result, mobile operators have been able to significantly increase their revenues by developing additional services. The same trend is appearing with Internet connectivity products. ISPs are placing devices in their subscribers' households, which in addition to managing Internet connectivity, are also providing a number of complementary services. The French market is a good example: to sustain and even increase their revenue, ISPs have chosen to use several technologies that have emerged since the development of high-speed connectivity, including IP telephony and digital television. And now, multi-play devices are appearing on the market. While still taking shape, today's multi-play device offerings are facing strong competition from market players. In response, a residential gateway that would allow ISPs to provide their subscribers new services in digital entertainment and home automation would complement the more traditional services such as high-speed Internet connection, IP telephony, and television. The objective is to allow ISPs to differentiate themselves by proposing unique services that will best position them to evolve in response to the needs of their subscribers. A Scalable Residential Gateway to Support a Range of Significant Services By choosing a scalable residential gateway, ISPs will be able to advance at a pace in line with the proliferation of new uses and adapt their offering to their subscribers' needs and demands. They will be better positioned to adjust the price of their users' subscriptions based on available functionality: high-speed Internet, IP telephony, IPTV, shared digital support (e.g., data, audio, video, blogs, pictures, images) and home automation applications (e.g., remotely operating surveillance cameras, enabling subscribers to control the home heating/air-conditioning system from the office) Furthermore, ISPs could supply their users with hardware that complements these additional services. The consumer's shopping cart would include storage peripherals, MP3 and video players, webcams, cameras, and Bluetooth adapters, resulting in increased average spending and a deeper involvement with their service provider. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/

Re: [WISPA] I'm gonnadothe honorswithout permission-- WELCOMEMartyRoadstar!
I can see this may need addressed going forward. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] list is not used very much. We use it predominantly to offer things directly to paid members that nobody else gets. Most recently we got 5 free all access passes to WISPCON that we gave out to WISPs who are paid members on that list. I do not make it a habit to share business plans going forward to the general public. I do share some degree of higher level business planning information with WISPs on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. I share brainstorming ideas with how to advance our industry there from time to time. That type of information I only feel comfortable sharing with those WISPs I know are serious about having a vested interest in advancing this industry (Paid WISPA Principle Members). If anything ever comes up where I think a vendor needs to be in the loop I would certainly ask the group for permission and then if granted I would forward it to the respective vendor(s). Vendor debates are not a high priority in our private list though I assure you. I appreciate your feedback. We will consider the possibility of an all members list and I do think it is probably needed if for no other reason than to handle things like nominations, elections, membership-wide issues, etc. Thanks Jeff, Scriv Jeff Broadwick wrote: Personally, I'd rather see one overall WISPA member list, but that's your call.

Re: [WISPA] CALEA
Yes. We're working on this from a couple of different angles. First, we've got a couple of lawyers (one an ex wisp) working on an FAQ or whitepaper so that we all know exactly what the law says, in layman's terms. Second, we've been talking to the FCC and FBI. We'll likely end up developing an FBI approved wisp calea standard. That's a ways away though and we're still just talking to them.

[WISPA] FCC High Speed Services Data
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWS MEDIA CONTACT: January 31, 2007 Mark Wigfield at (202) 418-0253 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RELEASES DATA ON HIGH-SPEED SERVICES FOR INTERNET ACCESS High-Speed Connections to the Internet Increased by 26% in the First Half of 2006 Washington, D.C. - The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today released new data on high-speed connections to the Internet in the United States. Twice a year, all facilities-based broadband providers are required to report to the Commission basic information about their service offerings and types of customers pursuant to the FCC's local telephone competition and broadband data gathering program (FCC Form 477). Statistics released today reflect data as of June 30, 2006. For reporting purposes, high-speed lines are connections that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kilobits per second (kbps) in at least one direction, while advanced services lines are connections that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in both directions. Commencing with the June 2005 data, we collect and report more detailed information about the speeds of in-service lines, provide finer distinctions among technologies, and collect and analyze information about the availability of high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections from incumbent local exchange carriers (incumbent LECs) and high-speed cable modem service from cable TV system operators. 1) High-Speed Lines * High-speed lines increased by 26% during the first half of 2006, from 51.2 million to 64.6 million lines in service, compared to a 21% increase, from 42.4 million to 51.2 million lines, during the second half of 2005. For the full twelve month period ending June 30, 2006, high-speed lines increased by 52% (or 22.2 million lines). High-speed lines encompass advanced services lines and also include lines that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in one, but not both, directions. * Of the 64.6 million total high-speed lines reported as of June 30, 2006, 50.3 million served primarily residential end users. Cable modem service represented 55.2% of these lines while 40.1% were asymmetric DSL (ADSL) connections, 0.2% were symmetric DSL (SDSL) or traditional wireline connections, 0.9% were fiber connections to the end user premises, and 3.7% used other types of technology including satellite, terrestrial fixed or mobile wireless (on a licensed or unlicensed basis), and electric power line. * ADSL lines increased by 3.1 million lines during the first half of 2006 compared to an increase of 2.0 million lines for cable modem service. For the full year, ADSL increased by 6.3 million lines compared to an increase of 4.6 million lines for cable modem service. 2) Advanced Services Lines * Advanced services lines, which deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in both directions, increased by 15% during the first half of 2006, from 43.8 million to 50.4 million, compared to a 18% increase, from 37.3 million to 43.8 million lines, during the second half of 2005. For the full twelve month period ending June 30, 2006, advanced services lines increased 35% (or 13.2 million lines). * Of the 50.4 million advanced services lines reported as of June 30, 2006, 63.1% were at least 2.5 mbps in the faster direction and 36.9% were slower than 2.5 mbps in the faster direction. * Of the 50.4 million advanced services lines, 45.9 million served primarily residential end users. Cable modem service represented 59.9% of these lines while 35.8% were ADSL connections, 0.2% were SDSL or traditional wireline connections, 1.0% were fiber connections to the end user premises, and 3.2% used other types of technology including satellite, terrestrial fixed or mobile wireless (on a licensed or unlicensed basis), and electric power line. 3) Geographic Coverage * As a nationwide average, we estimate that high-speed DSL connections were available to 79% of the households to whom incumbent LECs could provide local telephone service as of June 30, 2006, and that high-speed cable modem service was available to 93% of the households to whom cable system operators could provide cable TV service. * Providers list the Zip Codes in which they have at least one high-speed connection in service to an end user, and 99% of Zip Codes were listed by at least one provider. Our analysis indicates that more than 99% of the nation's population lives in those Zip Codes. The most widely reported technologies by this measure were satellite (with at least some presence reported in 90% of Zip Codes), ADSL (in 82% of Zip Codes), and cable modem (in 64% of Zip Codes). ADSL and/or cable modem connections were reported to be present in 88% of Zip Codes. The summary statistics
[WISPA] Refreshing Day
Well it was 10 degrees above zero this afternoon here in northern Indiana. We have been having an issue on one particular tower and after changing the base station equipment a couple times in the last few days, I decided to get out from behind a desk and go out to some customer locations that were still having issues. Turned out to be some minor tweaking of settings but it gave me a chance to interface with some customers face to face. It was very refreshing to hear compliments about our service and many thanks for bringing broadband out into the rural areas. These were a few customers that had very little service in the last few days. I almost feel like I should make each member of my staff go do this at least once a month. It really gives a guy a renewed appreciation of why we do what we do. Eight years ago when we started this, it was very apparent. Lately it seems like most people expect service anywhere they are and at a very cheap price. Normal phone conversations seem to leave me with a bad guy impression. Too Much, not fast enough, whaddya mean, I can't get service, TWO YEAR CONTRACT, no way!. Well today, shaking people's hands and seeing the smile on their face when everything was fixed and back to normal, takes all that away. Heck, I think I was happier than they were. My last service call was to a gentleman I have known for 20 years from a distance. He called late in the afternoon and said he couldn't get logged on and that our installer had been there today to replace a radio. He was so complimentary on the phone about the quality work and attitude of the installer and the rest of my staff, so I called my wife and told her I would be home in about an hour. I drove 15 miles out of town and fixed the issue rather quickly. Same IP address, different radio MAC addresstower needed a reboot to get rid of the arp issue. I guess I could have done that from the office but this one seemed like it was better handled face to face. The customer was off to church as soon as I left his house and I'm sure that he probably told all his friends about our service and my fine staff. Some people just value the local support a WISP is willing to give to its customers. It's not all about price, service like this makes customers for life, no matter how cheap they can buy it from somewhere else. Oh yeah, I also backed into his mailbox on the way out the driveway.

RE: [WISPA] Refreshing Day
I wish it were that way for me. I called a competitor once, as I had a $500/month account. All I could see was the tower they're on. Called them, told em I'd pay them $250 / month for the account ( I know they charge a lot more than that... ) since I'd manage the customer, etc. They hung up on me. I called back to talk to the owner and was rudely told, even by him, that they would not support their competitors. hah. I hooked the customer up with a cable modem, and I paid for the line so I could run an AP off his roof with now 12 customers from there. One of the other customers could see my stuff, so I use the cable line as a backup now. :) Oh, the competitor left that tower, too... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

A great day all around! marlon - Original Message - From: Rick Harnish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 7:16 PM Subject: [WISPA] Refreshing Day Well it was 10 degrees above zero this afternoon here in northern Indiana. We have been having an issue on one particular tower and after changing the base station equipment a couple times in the last few days, I decided to get out from behind a desk and go out to some customer locations that were still having issues. Turned out to be some minor tweaking of settings but it gave me a chance to interface with some customers face to face. It was very refreshing to hear compliments about our service and many thanks for bringing broadband out into the rural areas. These were a few customers that had very little service in the last few days. I almost feel like I should make each member of my staff go do this at least once a month. It really gives a guy a renewed appreciation of why we do what we do. Eight years ago when we started this, it was very apparent. Lately it seems like most people expect service anywhere they are and at a very cheap price. Normal phone conversations seem to leave me with a bad guy impression. Too Much, not fast enough, whaddya mean, I can't get service, TWO YEAR CONTRACT, no way!. Well today, shaking people's hands and seeing the smile on their face when everything was fixed and back to normal, takes all that away. Heck, I think I was happier than they were. My last service call was to a gentleman I have known for 20 years from a distance. He called late in the afternoon and said he couldn't get logged on and that our installer had been there today to replace a radio. He was so complimentary on the phone about the quality work and attitude of the installer and the rest of my staff, so I called my wife and told her I would be home in about an hour. I drove 15 miles out of town and fixed the issue rather quickly. Same IP address, different radio MAC addresstower needed a reboot to get rid of the arp issue. I guess I could have done that from the office but this one seemed like it was better handled face to face. The customer was off to church as soon as I left his house and I'm sure that he probably told all his friends about our service and my fine staff. Some people just value the local support a WISP is willing to give to its customers. It's not all about price, service like this makes customers for life, no matter how cheap they can buy it from somewhere else. Oh yeah, I also backed into his mailbox on the way out the driveway. You know, it didn't even bother him.I'll fix that right up tomorrow, you go on home now :-) Respectfully, Rick Harnish President OnlyInternet Broadband Wireless, Inc. 260-827-2482 Founding Member of WISPA -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
Re: [WISPA] FCC High Speed Services Data
Just think of how much better all of those numbers would be if the other 2600+ wisps out there would fill out that danged 477! marlon - Original Message - From: Rick Harnish [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 6:19 PM Subject: [WISPA] FCC High Speed Services Data FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWS MEDIA CONTACT: January 31, 2007 Mark Wigfield at (202) 418-0253 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RELEASES DATA ON HIGH-SPEED SERVICES FOR INTERNET ACCESS High-Speed Connections to the Internet Increased by 26% in the First Half of 2006 Washington, D.C. - The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today released new data on high-speed connections to the Internet in the United States. Twice a year, all facilities-based broadband providers are required to report to the Commission basic information about their service offerings and types of customers pursuant to the FCC's local telephone competition and broadband data gathering program (FCC Form 477). Statistics released today reflect data as of June 30, 2006. For reporting purposes, high-speed lines are connections that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kilobits per second (kbps) in at least one direction, while advanced services lines are connections that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in both directions. Commencing with the June 2005 data, we collect and report more detailed information about the speeds of in-service lines, provide finer distinctions among technologies, and collect and analyze information about the availability of high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections from incumbent local exchange carriers (incumbent LECs) and high-speed cable modem service from cable TV system operators. 1) High-Speed Lines * High-speed lines increased by 26% during the first half of 2006, from 51.2 million to 64.6 million lines in service, compared to a 21% increase, from 42.4 million to 51.2 million lines, during the second half of 2005. For the full twelve month period ending June 30, 2006, high-speed lines increased by 52% (or 22.2 million lines). High-speed lines encompass advanced services lines and also include lines that deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in one, but not both, directions. * Of the 64.6 million total high-speed lines reported as of June 30, 2006, 50.3 million served primarily residential end users. Cable modem service represented 55.2% of these lines while 40.1% were asymmetric DSL (ADSL) connections, 0.2% were symmetric DSL (SDSL) or traditional wireline connections, 0.9% were fiber connections to the end user premises, and 3.7% used other types of technology including satellite, terrestrial fixed or mobile wireless (on a licensed or unlicensed basis), and electric power line. * ADSL lines increased by 3.1 million lines during the first half of 2006 compared to an increase of 2.0 million lines for cable modem service. For the full year, ADSL increased by 6.3 million lines compared to an increase of 4.6 million lines for cable modem service. 2) Advanced Services Lines * Advanced services lines, which deliver services at speeds exceeding 200 kbps in both directions, increased by 15% during the first half of 2006, from 43.8 million to 50.4 million, compared to a 18% increase, from 37.3 million to 43.8 million lines, during the second half of 2005. For the full twelve month period ending June 30, 2006, advanced services lines increased 35% (or 13.2 million lines). * Of the 50.4 million advanced services lines reported as of June 30, 2006, 63.1% were at least 2.5 mbps in the faster direction and 36.9% were slower than 2.5 mbps in the faster direction. * Of the 50.4 million advanced services lines, 45.9 million served primarily residential end users. Cable modem service represented 59.9% of these lines while 35.8% were ADSL connections, 0.2% were SDSL or traditional wireline connections, 1.0% were fiber connections to the end user premises, and 3.2% used other types of technology including satellite, terrestrial fixed or mobile wireless (on a licensed or unlicensed basis), and electric power line. 3) Geographic Coverage * As a nationwide average, we estimate that high-speed DSL connections were available to 79% of the households to whom incumbent LECs could provide local telephone service as of June 30, 2006, and that high-speed cable modem service was available to 93% of the households to whom cable system operators could provide cable TV service. * Providers list the Zip Codes in which they have at least one high-speed connection in service to an end user, and 99% of Zip Codes were listed by at least one provider. Our analysis indicates that more than 99% of the nation's population lives in those Zip

Re: [WISPA] FCC High Speed Services Data
No...we can't fill that out. Why should we follow the law and allow regulators to see we are actually filling the digital divide? It is far better to give them ammo to ignore our efforts and build justification for federally subsidized funding of rural broadband through telco and cable. Why should we count for anything?
